Nehalem (nuh-HAY-lum) Bay Netting started with a no-image, no-name 1875 lace pattern with errors, so I had to improvise. Nehalem Bay is a beautiful state park on Oregon’s coast. This pattern has a 4-stitch, 6-row repeat. The double yarn overs are worked as 2 stitches in the next row: knit the first loop, purl the second loop. The wrong-side rows are just knit and purl.
The swatch is 3.5 inches wide and 4 inches long. It took me about an hour to knit 3.5 inches of a 30-stitch-wide strip.

Skills needed: cast on, knit, slip, purl, yarn over twice, k2tog, SSK and bind off in knit stitch.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able yarn/thread will work. Make a swatch to check gauge and appearance.

55 yards of #10 crochet thread will make about 10 inches of a 30-stitch-wide strip in the stated gauge.
